ITEMS W BRIEF.
From Welnenlav'e Deli v.
Hon. A. J. Dufur, sr., is very sick at
his son's residence in Dufur.
Mrs. S. L. Brooks was a passenger
by the Regulator this morning to Port
land. Mr. Frank Reynolds returned to his.
borne at Lyle, Wash., on the boat this
morning.
Mr. W. C. McClure, an old and re
spected citizen- of Hosier, died last

77 years, and was one of the pioneers
of Wasco county.
Sheriff Holder, of Sherman county,
arrived in the city last evening en
route to Portland to attend the con
vention of Republican clubs in that
city to be held today.
The west-bound passenger train did
not arrive in the city this morning
until after 7 o'clock. The delay was
caused by an accident on the Wash
ington division of the O. R. & N. Co.
M. T. Nolan, Frank Menefee and W.
H. Wilson were passengers on the
train to Portland this morning. They
will be in attendance at the conven
tion of Republican clubs being held in
that city.
Mr. Henry Gordion's boy, about 15
years, old, was thrown from a horse
this afternoon, suffering a severe bruise
at the base of the brain. Dr. Hollis
ter was called and attended to the in
juries. In regard to the seizure of the
steamers Dalles City and Regulator by
Collector Black for carrying refined
petroleum, the owner's claim was yes
terday filed in Portland, with pro
cedure for release of the steamers.
This afternoon, in a drunken row, a
man received a severe cut on the side
of the neck, close to the jugular vein.
Dr. Hollister sewed up the wound and
applied the usual remedies. . The man
who made the assault was arrested and
lodged in jail. Up to the hour of go
ing to press it jraa impossible to learn
the names of the parties.
The excursion to the Cascade Locks
next Sunday will be a very enjoyable
one, and a good time will be had. At
the landing the tressle work has been
planked, and there is a safe walk to
the grounds, where every preparation
has been made for the cames and
dancing.
Dr. Hill, grand chancellor of the K.
of P. in this state, will pay an official
visit to Friendship lodge next Satur
day evening. He will arrive from Ar
lin&rton in the afternoon on the first
freight train, and will, if possible, ex
emplify the unwritten work in the
evening.
Next Sunday, May 26, a most impos
ing and startling, sight will be wit
nessed down the Columbia, a short
ride from Portland. The famous old
steamboat Reed, which is familiar to
every man, woman and child in Port
land, will be burned to the water's
edge and blown to fragments in mid
stream: Mr. F. W. Wilson assumed the posi
tion of editor of the Chronicle today.
He is a young man of classical educa
tion, of good ability, and undoubt
edly will attain a high rank in the
profession of journalism. We extend
to him a cordial, fraternal greeting
with the kindest wishes of success in
the arduous duties he has assumed.
Take an honest pride in the commu
nity you call home, remarks an ex
change. No matter whether some one
you may not love .as a brother is hold
ing an important position over you.
Sustain him in doing his duty and
manfully fight for him when you see
be is in the right, tie a man and rise
above personal bickerings and little
jealousies when the welfare of your
town is at stake.
In last evening's edition .of our co
temporary appeared the valedictory of
its former editor, Mr. J. H. Cradle
baugh, who has occupied the position
for the past year. Mr. Cradlebaugh is
a witty, brilliant writer, and a prince
among genial, courteous gentlemen.
We hope that wherever he may cast his
lot in the future he will receive that
recognition to which his social quali
ties and highly cultured mental abilities
entitle him.

the rolling stock of the O. R. & N. and
putting it in shape for the fall business.
About 2300 freight cars and 65 passen
ger coaches, with the engines, make up
the O. R. & N.'s rolling stock, all of
which either has been or will be put
through the repair - shop, and the
present force will likely be kept busy
all summer.
From four journals published at
Chicago, South Omaha and Kansas
City, figures are taken showing .how
the receipts of cattle have, fallen off
this year, even though the entire west
has been carefully searched for mar
ketable steers.
At Kansas City, up to the middle of
May, the receipts were from January
1st: 1894, cattle, 532,395; 1895, 464.552;
decrease, 67,843; calves, 1894, 8730;
1895, 13,361; increase, 4031; hogs, 1894,
963,267: 1895, 985,572; increase. 22,305;
sheep, 1894, 206,434; 1S95, 311,314: in
crease, I07,8su; horses, 1894, 15,966;
1895, 17,019; increase, 1053.
At South Omaha receipts from Jan
uary 1st to May 15th were 168.656 cat
tle, 496,343 hogs, 77,975 sheep, 1559
horses and mules, showing a loss of
16,908 sheep and a loss of 680 horses
and mules as compared with 1894.
At Chicago, the receipts were such
as to make the cattle shortage 375,000
head, in the three markets, as com
pared with 1894.
This decrease has as an accompany
ing fact the draining of all the west
ern states of every hoof which is fit
for market. The stockman who has
any to sell next year will get good
prices. Of this there can be no doubt.

All German protestants in the vi

the farm of Mr. Paul Limmeroth, near
Dufur, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon of

will happen at that time. Good speak
ing and singing will be provided.
"Ten people out of a dozen are in
valids," says a recent medical author
ity. At least eight out of these ten, it
is safe to allow, are suffering from some
form of blood-disease which a persistent
nseofAyer's Sarsaparilla would be
sure to cure. Then, don't be an in

on the upper Snake would indicate
that that part of the river is not navi

Kamm and Capt. W. P. Gray to the
contrary, says the Huntington Herald.
These gentlemen- all say, positively,
that the river can be navigated all
Oneonta Gorge.
Perhaps there is no greater natural
phenomenal than Oneonta Gorge,
about two miles east of Multuomah
Falls, where the mountain is cleft in
twain, and the aperture, from five to
fifteen feet in width, extends to a
height of about a thousand feet.
Whether this was caused during the
cooling process of the earth's forma
tion, or by subsequent volcanic
action, has not been definitely deter
mined. On the train only a glimpse
of this great natural curiosity can be
obtained; but the excursion on June
2d will afford an opportunity to
view and examine this wonderful phe
nomenon. The train will arrive at
Multnomah Falls about 11 o'clock, and
this will give persons from Heppner,
Arlington, urant ana xne liaiies sui-
"ficient time to visit these places before
the hour lor lunch. The afternoon
will be spent at the Locks, where
groun'ds have been prepared for all
kinds of amusements.
Yesterday there arrived in the city
Mr. J. H. Buick from Silver Lake
with wagons which he will loid with
merchandise for Mr. F. M. Chrisman,
the proprietor of the building in which
the holocaust occurred last (Jnristmas.
Mr. Buick was in the hall when that
terrible fire happened, and his wife
and a boy seven years old perished in
the flames. He carried one boy out of
the building, and thought his wife was

looking back saw that she nor the boy
naa followed mm, ana tne nan was en
veloped by the fiery demon. On the
ground around the store there were
several who had escaped death, but
were in a terribly burned condition,
The tale is yet fresh in the memory of
our citizens, and has often been relat
ed; but our reporter could not help but
take an interest in tne recitals or an
eye-witness. Mr. Buick very vividly.'
describes the excitement when the
lamp was overturned, and the brave
efforts made, by friends and relatives
to rescue their loved ones from the
burning building. It is a mistake, he
says, that the weak were pushed back
into the furnace of death by the strong
in their efforts to escape. In many
instances athletic young men perished,
while small children and delicate
persons saved themselves from the
holocaust. When the first alarm took
place from the burning lamp children
and women ran out, while the men
stayed and attempted to subdue it. In
his opinion the casualties were caused
in many cases by persons being over
come by the gas from the burning
oil in the close room, which
suffocated them and rendered them
powerless to help themselves. His
brother, J. J. Buick, was one of the
victims, and the widow, aside from her
husband, lost her motner, two sisters,
one brother, an aunt, niece and other
relatives in all fourteen in this ter
rible harvest of death. Some families
were completely wiped out, and the
death list included husbands and
wives, who stayed and met their fate
together mothers who perished in the
attempt to save their children, fathers
who fought the flames to rescue chil
dren, and one young man and woman
to be married in a lew days, were
burned to a crisp clasped in each other's
arms. The sight around the building
was something that was terrible to
witness, and the memory of which will
never be effaced Irom tne mind, lay
ing on the ground were several in the
last agonies of dissolution, who had
managed to escape from the building,
but who were so badly burned that re
covery was hopeless. Others suffered
frightful burns, and were rolling on
the ground as some means of relief
from the terrible pain they were suf
fering. The wild excitement of the
crowd attempting- to. save themselves
and their loved ones from the hell of
flames in the building, and the shrieks
and groans of the injured and dying
maae me scene a perceci pandemonium.
Mr. Buick was loath to talk about the
event, and in relating the occurrence
he seemed to live over again that ter
rible night at Silver Lake, which cost
him his wife, child and brother. The
horror of the scene will haunt him
always, and pur reporter drew the
facts from him after very many ques
tions were asked.
Mr. Buick has his remaining son
with him, and in care of his sister-in-law,
Mrs. J. J. Buick, he will send him
to his father, Hon. D. S. K. Buick
formerly editor and proprietor of the
Plaindealerax Ropeburg. Although
230 miles distant from Silver Lake,
The Dalles is the most available trad
ing point, and the best way he had to
reach the Willamette valley. The
road to this city is very good, and pass
able at all seasons of the year, while
to Eugene or to Ager, Calif., it is
mountainous and almost impassable
for wagons.
According to the last international
statistics there are but three states in

Its Mission and the Elevated Position It
Should Occupy in the Moral and Polit
eal Education of the Masses.
DTJFUR, May 21, 1895.
Editor Tonts-MousTAixuh:
The political education of the people
of all countries, except where despo
tism reigns, is the aim and duty of the
nress. Our forefathers, in this great
country of ours, were wise and just to
establish, press freedom for all time,
and thanks to this institution our na
tion has been enabled to make the
wonderful, nroeressive stride which
will be chronicled on the pages of his
tory as a fact to inspire all coming
generations to promote a liberal and
advanced rjoliev. There can be no
question as to the press being the effi
cient medium, the proper channel.
when the historv of the past estab
lishes the fact that the pen is mightier
than the sword; and the press has been
the propelling power behind the politi
cal machinery of this country; the
active dynamo in reformatory progress
in its various branches. A man who
wants to be an active citizen ol tnis
country cannot therefore keep abreast
the requirements of the times unless
he is a diligent student of the press.
And how a man can claim to exact the
full right and privileges of American
cit;zenship without being a careful
newspaper reader, is something that I
cannot understand. He cerfcunly can
not understand his duties, and inas
much as all risrhts and privileges are
founded upon the basis of duty, in the
relation of cause and effect, Ihis right
and nrivileee must necessarily suffer
abuse at his own hands, and therefore
be corrupt.
But with the assertion that the press
is the proper channel by which to con
duct political education and enlight
ment to the masses, it also stands to
reason that the conductors of that
work must be masters of the situa
tions. A man who calls nimseii an
editor cf any product of the press,
called newspaper, and knows naught
but to work his clippers and to fill the
columns of his sheet with crime and
accident items is no more the man in
his place than a school teacher who
would disgrace the school room by re
lating yarns and spook-stories to his
pupils, instead of imparting useful
knowledge and instructions. The
man, however, who carefully weighs
the present and future by the past,
who sifts history and logically con
cludes upon political questions is as
much to be admired as the bravest
missionary whose zeal leads his foot
steps into darkest Africa. His intel
lect, study and labor is entirely de
voted to the cause of public prosperity,
and, besides a liberal pecuniary com
pensation, he deserves and is justly
entitled to every moral encourage
ment in his efforts.
This is the aim of these lines: I
wish to say, that I have been a careful
reader of the leading articles of the
Times-Mountaineer, and desire to
pay you my compliment for your cor
rect and competent criticism of the
Questions at issue. I wish to say that
your work bears the evidence of study,
logical intelligence and brave impar
tiality, and that these features cannot
fail to gain many friends and admirers
as well as accomplishing the desired
end.
Hoping that you may garner the
moral fruits of your untiring efforts,
I insure vou that they will always be
highly appreciated by yours, D.

A Wrongful Carving:.
James O'Brien was very handy with
a large Jack knife yesterday afternoon,
and in a fit of anger attempted to carve
the side of David Conroy's neck, near
the jugular vein. To this David ob
jected. and Marshal Blakeny interfered
with the operation and placed O'Brien
in jail. Though cut badly Conroy was
not seriously injured, and, with Irish
good humor, joked while the physician
was joining the gap with needle and
thread made by the sharp-edged in
strument. This morning he swore out
a warrant of arrest against O Brien,
and the case was heard before Re
corder Dufur. Conroy appeared as the
prosecuting witness, and, although his
head was bandaged be was able to
walk around and give his testimony.
After the evidence was heard, the re
corder placed O'Brien under $500
bonds to answer the charge of assault
with a dangerous weapon, and Conroy
under $250 to appear as prosecuting
witness.

Ansel White.
A dispatch from Port Townsend,
Wash., Bays that the death and iden
tity of Ansel White, the lost heir to
the $4,000,000 estate, has been fully es
tablished by the special commission
sent to this coast by the probate court
of Utica, N. Y. It appears that a
period of 50 years elapsed from the
time White hurriedly left his home in
company with another man's wife un
til his heirs learned of his death near
Port Angeles. He and the woman
went to Illinois, where they separated.
He drifted out through the west to
California, and ultimately settled on a
lonely ranch in the Olympic mount
ains, where 30 years later he died. His
will, bequeathing all his worldly pos
sessions to Preston M. Troy, is pro
nounced worthless in so far as it applies
to the eastern estate. It was some
years after White's death before-' he
fell heir to the Utica estate, and no
mention of this estate was made in the
will to Troy.
The Wool Season.
The increase of business at the East
End is very discernable, and is caused
by the vast quantities of wool being
received. During the last few days
there has been quite a movement in
wheat, and considerable that was
stored last fall is now reaching market
because of the increased price. At
Moody's warehouse large lots of wool
are being baled, and a new machine is
being placed in position. Sacks of
fleeces cover the platforms all around
the buildings, and a force of men are
constantly employed unloading wagons
and storing the product. The wool
season has finally begun; but before
it ends the receipts of this product bid
fair to exceed those of any former
year.
Found Dead Near His Home.
A dispatch from Jacksonville states
that Mr. Hilbard, seventy-five years of
age, who came here from Portland five
or six years ago, for his health, and
had been residing on Little Applegate,
nineteen miles from Jacksonville, left
the house of J. F. Garrison. Sunday,
where he had been living for the past
three years, on an errand, and failed
to return. Search was instituted for
him Monday and he was found dead
only a short distance from the house.
He had apparently fallen over and died
without a struggle. The remains had
not been molested in any way, and no
inquest is thought to be necessary.
He is supposed to have died from heart
disease. .1 .
Not Successful This Time.
Occasionally a Pacific coast man
gets an eastern wife through matri
monial papers. An interesting case Is
of how an eastern girl did not get a
Pacific coast husband: "A young lady
of Chester, Penn., who selected a hus
bend by mail, was so poorly pleased
with her choice when he appeared in
person that she refused to abide by it.
He came all the way from , California
in response to her letter, but returned
alone a sadder and a wiser, as well as
a very angry man. He proved on in
spection to be stoop-shouldered and
baldheaded, and not at all up to the
sample shown in his photograph."
An Old Conple Killed.
Hamilton Dean and wife, a wealthy
old couple living a few miles out of
Spokane, met with a horrible death
Friday evening. They were riding in
to the city in their carriage, and as
they were passing along the road three
miles from the city, at a point where
graders were felling trees, a huge tree
fell directly upon the aged couple
crushing the life out of them Instantly.

Colombia River Scenery.
There is no portion of the continent
in which there is grander scenery than
on the banks of the Columbia river.
Forcing its way through the gorge of
the Cascades, on either side of this
great river are exposed some of the
most magnificent views ever presented.
This scenery has won the admiration
of tourists, and the general verdict
has been that it excels in grandeur the
palisades of the Hudson, or even the
world-famed historic banks of the
Rhine, Notable among the natural
Shenomena are Multnomah Falls and
ineonta Gorge, the former being a
900 feet perpendicular shoot of water
over a rocky precipice, and the latter a
cleft in the mountain a thousand feet
high, and only ten to fifteen feet wide.
The excursion of the Redmen's social
club will afford visitors an opportunity
to examine these great, natural pheno
mena. . .
Will Look For Bine Bucket.
Long Creek Eagle: The representa
tive of the Eagle met Jas. A. Wallace
and N. C. Wainscott in this city early
this week. They stated that they ex
pected to start soon and make an ex
tended search Tor the Blue Bucket
diggings. This famous mine was dis
covered in the early '50s by an immi
grant train en route to the Willamette
valiey. Mr. Wallace's mother was a
member of that train of immigrants,
and she supplied him with all the nec
essary information and data to enable
him to find almost every camping
place made by the train while crossing
Oregon. The Eagle hopes Mr. Wal
lace and others will be successful in
discovering the famous Blue Bucket,
and from the country over which they
intend to search, the Eagle's readers
need not be surprised to hear of this
wonderful strike at any time.

Grant County Trade.
The business men of the The Dalles
should take note of the following from
the East Oregonian:
A telephone line from Pendleton to
Burns, by way of Alba, Ukiah, Long
Creek, John Day City and Canyon City,
would do more to bring the people of
Umatilla, Grant, Harney and Malheur
counties together and make Pendleton
the trade center thereof than any other
one enterprise.. Business would grad
ually follow this telephone line and the
town furnishing the quickest, most di
rect communication would become the
mart of the producing people of those
counties. The telephone line would
maKe communication easy and this
within itself is the greatest incentive to
business and developer of trade.

Attend to the Orchards.
The Albany Herald says: "In pass
ing through the different portions of
the state, one cannot help observing
that in spite of the new horticultural
law the old orchards continue to be a
harbor for insects and a fertile field
for moss and dead limbs. The only
conclusion that can be arrived at from
this observation is that to be effective
a law must perforce voice the popular
sentiment ol the people, ana it appears
that the people do not consider the
special work of caring for and proper
cultivation or iruit trees to be essen
tial, or these remnants of old orchards
would be renovated or cleaned out, so
as not to be a breeding place for
destructive insects to prey upon the
newly planted trees."
